My cholesterol tests came back better, but my triglycerides are still high (200). Everything came down with the red yeast rice supplement and fish oil I used for cholesterol. My lipoprotein a test came back high( I guess it’s a genetic test), So I’m predisposed to heart disease and stroke. That’s kind of a bummer, can’t even change that one with diet. I am getting referred to a cardiologist soon to possibly do a calcium score test to check for plaque in my arteries.
On another note my ttg iga test for celiac disease came back positive, so I am also being referred to a gi doctor for further testing.
But my a1c, thyroid, liver, kidneys, and blood counts all came back normal. So that’s good! I’m just trying my best to eat plant based to work on the cholesterol. It’s just frustrating that sometimes genetics can throw a wrench in the works no matter what you do!
